"Chapter 25- Surprises "

"So how was last night?"

"We slept if you know what I mean. It was like the night that he slept over at my house,"

"Oh, so was it good?"

"I guess, I mean it doesn't change because were married should it?"

"I guess not. Unless you guys want children"

Christina looked at Meredith like she was crazy

Meredith and Christina were walking up to the hospital. It was the day after the wedding, and even though the Chief gave Christina the day off, she couldn't stay away. Burke was called in for a 5 o'clock surgery, so Christina met up with Meredith in the parking lot.

"So what are you going to have the interns call you? Dr. Burke?" Meredith sniggered

"Shut up...I hate the way that sounds don't you? No...I'm sticking with Yang. I mean you're sticking with Grey aren't you?"

"I'm sticking with whatever they want to call me," replied Meredith matter-of-factly as they stepped into the hospital "I mean if they want to call my Dr. Shepherd, I don't care. I actually kinda like that. I don't know, we'll see next year,"

"Whatever Mer. But I'm sticking with Yang,"

Both girls stepped into the elevator. Burke and Derek were both in there. Meredith and Christina looked at each other

"Concidence?" (sorry I can't spell)

"Doubt it," muttered Christina "They probably knew we would arrive around now, so they wanted to meet us,"

"Why hello Dr. Burke,"said Derek smiling

Christina turned to him

"No offense Dr. Shepherd, and to you Burke, but I'm sticking with Dr. Yang," Burke gave her a 'what-the-hell?' look. Derek tried to get an answer out of Meredith but all did was shrug. The ride up to the surgical ward was quiet and awkward. When both "couples" stepped out of the elevator, Derek pulled Meredith aside

"Meet me at lunch if you don't have a surgery, I want to talk to you,"

"Derek-"

"Meredith please?"

Meredith saw him in his 'puppy-dog-eyes'

"Don't use those on me...ok fine. I'll page you if something comes up,"

Derek kissed Meredith and started to head towards Nuero. Meredith just shook her head and went into the locker room. Christina followed behind her

"So what did McDreamy want?" asked Christina when they finally broke apart from their husbands

"He wants me to meet him a lunch. Knowing my luck, there will be a 10-car pile up that I'll have to fix. What did Burke want?"

"He wanted to know what was up with the last name. I told him I wasn't comfortable with the whole 'Christina Burke' thing, and that I wanted to keep my last name,"

"And how did that go over?"

"He also wants to talk to me at lunch. I mean does it really matter if I keep my last name? I mean I married him didn't I?"

"Christina! How could you not take his last name?" Izzy couldn't help but over hearing their conversation

"I don't know Izzy, I just don't like it. I mean does Dr. Christina Burke sound good to you?"

Izzy just shrugged "I don't know, but I gotta go. Addison is waiting for me, BYE!" Izzy ran out of the locker room like it was on fire

"She must be late," muttered Meredith looking at the clock, "Oh shit I'm late too, I gotta go. I'll talk to ya later," Meredith ran out of the locker room just as fast as Izzy

"Great now I'm alone and married. Could this day get any worse?"

"Hey!" Meredith kissed Derek on the cheek as she sat down for lunch

"Hey yourself," said Derek as he looked up at Meredith, "So how's your day?"

"Okay, I got a surgery scheduled at 4, I dismissed 3 patients today and no deaths. So I really can't complain. You?"

"I have a surgery at 3. This little 7-year-old girl has a tumor on her frontal lobe. It's kinda sad and it's in a really tough place. If you didn't have a surgery scheduled, I would ask you for assistance,"

"Derek, when are you going to learn I'm a resident now. I assigned you Ronga. He looks promising..what's wrong with him?"

"I know, but-"

"Derek," Meredith had that 'don't-say-another-word' look on her face. She tried to change the subject, "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well you know that house we were talking about?"

"Ya why?" Meredith dug into her food, not looking up at Derek, but still listening

"Well I talked to my architect friend, and he said he could start building as soon as tomorrow,"

Meredith looked up at Derek. He was smiling his stupid smile

"Are you serious?"

Derek nodded

"Oh Derek, that's awesome!"

"So I was thinking, tonight, if these patients don't hold us captive here, I could drive you out to where I was going to build the house and show you the blue prints,"

Meredith's eyes started to fill up with tears

"Mer?"
"Oh Derek!" Meredith practically jumped out of her seat. She ran over and gave Derek the biggest hug, she could of given him

"So I take that as a yes,"

Meredith pulled him into a passionate kiss

"Yes,"

"You know, this pregnancy thing has turned you into nice and caring person. I'd hate to see you on you angry stage!"

Meredith hit Derek playfully as her pager went off.

"I got to go, I'll see you at home around 8?"

"Ya,"

This time Derek pulled Meredith into a kiss

"Derek!"

Derek smiled agian as Meredith smiled and ran off into the hospital

"I love that woman," said Derek as he went back to his food.

"Dr. Stevens?"

Izzy was looking over some charts at the nure's station when Addison came up,

"Oh, hello Dr. Montgomery," said Izzy taken by surprise "You need me?"

"I was just wondering about Meredith. She's beginning to show isn't she? I haven't got to see her in a while,"

"Well she's what 6 months pregnant right? But, ya, she's starting to, why?"

"Can you tell her I'd like to talk with her when you get the chance?"

"Uh, sure...but is there something wrong?"

"No, nothing wrong. I just looked over her sonogram and I found something,"

Izzy's face went into shock

"No, nothing bad. I just want to give her another ultrasound to make sure, I'm not seeing things. Can you tell her the message next time you see her,"

"Sure whatever you want Dr. Montgomery,"

"Thank you, Good day Dr. Stevens,"

"Good day Dr. Montgomery,"

Addison turned and left, leaving a very confused Izzy.

I wonder what the suprise is 🧐
